Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools.""It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""It helps you keep organized.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy.""It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful.""It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."

Cons
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs.""An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive.""The initial setup is a bit clunky.""It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth.""The technical support is really very bad.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."

"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier.""Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution.""The product could improve its scalability.""The ease of use should be addressed.""Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find.""The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
